• Former January 6 defendant Jared L Wise appointed adviser to DOJ weaponization working group — Jared L Wise, a former FBI agent charged with two felonies and four misdemeanors for his conduct during the January 6 Capitol riot—including allegedly shouting "kill 'em!" at police—has been named an adviser to Ed Martin, who leads the Trump administration's "weaponization working group" at the Department of Justice. Wise's prosecution was dismissed after Trump granted clemency to all January 6 participants on his first day in office. The appointment signals the administration's embrace of rioters and a fundamental shift in DOJ priorities toward investigating alleged political weaponization by the prior administration.
